The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

The generals frowned deeply, their hearts filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Zeng Long's move was incredibly clever and brilliant!

He cleverly utilized the rules, and even became part of the rules himself!

They knew perfectly well that there were a thousand ways to physically stop Zeng Long and his three companions—

But in terms of "reason" and "righteousness," they couldn't find a single plausible reason to stop it!

Because these weapons and blueprints were independently developed by Zeng Long's team and unconditionally handed over to the country!

It is a top secret concerning national defense security!

Now they've been caught red-handed; the blueprints were found on Wu Chen and his accomplices! This "fact" is irrefutable!

If they forcibly stop them now, Zeng Long has every reason to suspect that they are protecting the "secret thief," and it will be impossible to get Xiaoya to provide technical guidance later.

Zeng Long could even "reasonably" deduce that the contents of the blueprints may have been leaked in some way!

Even if it's just a "possibility," it's enough to plunge Wu Chen, He Ziming, and Liu Sheng into an abyss of no return!

Censorship, surveillance, and even more serious consequences...

The power to interpret all of this largely rests in the hands of Zeng Long and Xiao Ya, the "Divine Sparrow" beside him who can control electronic devices!

General Liu could even imagine that Zeng Long definitely had a backup plan.

Perhaps right now, Xiaoya has already remotely controlled Wu Chen and the others' mobile phones and electronic devices.

If the conflict escalates, Zeng Long could "legitimately" demand the immediate seizure and inspection of all their communication devices.

If they "discover" some "evidence" later, then these younger generation members will truly be beyond saving!

Even if it doesn't happen now, what about later? Everything depends on Zeng Long's decision!

This is a blatant conspiracy!

Even if they knew perfectly well that this was a trap set by Zeng Long, all their explanations seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the towering mountain of "state secrets"!

Meanwhile, the others in the lobby had gradually gone from initial shock to numbness.

They watched as Zeng Long and his men actually dared to act with such ruthless methods in front of several generals and top dignitaries, and the shock they felt was beyond measure.

Old Master Wu and the others were so enraged that their chests heaved violently, their anger almost burning away their reason!

That was their beloved grandson, on whom they had placed so much hope!

At this moment, he was like a lamb to the slaughter, with a knife to his throat and a gun pointed at his temple!

Wu Jingzhong suddenly looked at General Liu and the others, his voice hoarse with extreme anger and suppressed rage:

Are you just going to stand by and watch them act so recklessly?! And do nothing?!

What about your identities?! What about your responsibilities?!

A deep bitterness appeared on General Liu's face:

He walked over to Old Wu and the others, speaking in a voice only they could hear—

They quickly and clearly explained in a low voice the stakes involved, as well as their deductions about Zeng Long's possible backup plans.

"...It's not that we don't want to get involved or stop it."

General Liu's voice was filled with helplessness:

"Mr. Wu, Mr. He, Mr. Liu, if we intervene forcefully, the situation could escalate immediately!"

"That's not saving them; it's pushing them, and even your families, faster into the abyss!"

"Because the initiative is now entirely in Zeng Long's hands. He can make sure your grandsons are safe, or he can make sure your grandsons are convicted, and he can provide both witness testimony and physical evidence."

"The accusation of 'stealing state secrets' is too heavy a burden! None of us can bear it! If it's proven true, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

After hearing General Liu's analysis, Wu Jingzhong was struck dumb, his body swaying violently—

He stumbled backward several steps before being barely supported by the guards behind him.

A chilling, bone-deep cold instantly swept over his entire body!

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! This situation is a hopeless dead end!

Whether they choose to confront each other head-on or compromise and back down, the initiative remains firmly in Zeng Long's hands!

That profound sense of powerlessness and helplessness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

He had lived a full life, experiencing countless storms, but never before had he felt so old and weary.

He finally realized firsthand just how terrifying this boy named Zeng Long was!

His methods have transcended simple force or scheming; they represent a precise control and ruthless crushing of rules, people's hearts, and the overall situation!

In Wu Lao's mind, the image of his eldest grandson, Wu Jun, whom he had always been proud of, uncontrollably surfaced.

He compared Wu Jun to Zeng Long in front of him...

Setting aside family background, and judging solely from personal ability, mindset, and methods...

Does Wu Jun really have a chance of winning? I'm afraid... he has absolutely no chance.

Even someone as cunning and calculating as myself might be able to outmaneuver Zeng Long in terms of strategy!

But I've grown old when it comes to ruthless decision-making and decisive action!

Zeng Long and his group, having lived on the edge of life and death for so long, have a far deeper understanding of "destruction" and "cost" than most people.

"That's enough... that's enough..." Wu Jingzhong sighed deeply, as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant.

A flash of understanding appeared in his cloudy old eyes.

He knew that Zeng Long's ultimate goal in making such a big fuss was not really to cripple these good-for-nothing grandsons!

Instead, they were forcing him, forcing these old guys, to hand over the real mastermind behind it all—Wu Jun!

Because Zeng Long once said, "What the law cannot judge, I will decide!"

And the bargaining chip for this "decision" is the future and fate of Wu Chen, He Ziming, and Liu Sheng, which he currently holds in his hands.

Even the potential repercussions for their families! All of this hangs in the balance, depending on Zeng Long's every thought.

At this moment, Zeng Long, with his thunderous methods and ingenious mind, has placed himself on the high ground of national security and the dignity of the law.

This position is supremely lofty and cannot be trampled upon or transgressed by anyone.

Even though this hall is filled with the top generals of the Chinese military.

Even the most powerful family heads, when faced with the words "state secrets," lost the right to pressure him.

Wu Jingzhong slowly and with great difficulty raised his head, his weathered eyes meeting Zeng Long's calm yet profound gaze.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final decision of this once-powerful old man.
